While Joy Episalla's previous body of work was also focused on the evidence of human interaction with the physical (domestic) environment, this new work looks more closely at the evidence of loss manifested through personal belongings –things abandoned and removed, and the traces left behind. Episalla includes photographs of towels left to dry, a well–worn mattress and now–blank walls from which pictures have been removed.

In her most recent work, Joy Episalla continues to push the boundaries of photography into the arena of sculpture, mounting the photographs on thick Plexiglas, often intending the work to simply lean against the wall. This exhibition features a digital photographic installation called "Portrait of FM" –a larger–than–life sized image of a friend's bookcase left intact after his death. The seven by twelve foot scrim hangs in front of the gallery windows, with the Boston cityscape visible beyond.
